Happy Halloween!!

I hope that you all had a great day today! 

I want to share some of our photos with you (yes more, lol)! Smile 
We had a great time.  After my hubby came home, we went trick-or-treating, then we came home to eat dinner.  After that, we made popcorn, homemade-hot coco and then watched a family movie.

Happy Halloween!

I hope that you all have a great Halloween today!
I thought I would just share a couple of photos from our weekend!
We went to a Halloween Party Saturday night!
We brought the cutest little pirate, princess and lion that we could find.

Michael had been wanting to be a pirate since we went on a Pirate’s Cruse in Florida for his birthday.

My daughter dreams of being a princess every single day of her life, lol!

The kids had a great time! Smile

We did too! Smile  My husband dressed up as a biker (don’t worry, the cigarette is fake) and I went as an 80’s girl.  Like the hair? lol

Today, Michael dresses up for school and I was able to go into the classroom and take pictures.  Then they had a little parade around the school and we going trick-or-treating in the office.  Grace’s class with be dressing up as saints tomorrow for All Saint’s Day.
After my husband gets home today, we are going out trick-or-treating with my neighbors but I only want to stay out for like an hour.  It is sooo cold here!  Then we will come home and hand out candy.  Actually,  my kids don’t eat their candy, we give it out to the others.  I know, I know…I am the meanest mom the world.  I get them some Trader' Joe’s candy if they want a couple pieces of something but because we never eat any of that junk, they don’t really like it.  I will have raspberries, strawberries and apples with homemade sugar-free dip that they will go nuts over.  They will be just fine.  They just like getting dressed up.
What are your Halloween plans?
Do you dress up?  As what?
Do you have any family traditions?
Happy Halloween!
Bonnie :)

Rustic, romantic beach home


On this foggy, cold autumn morning I'm dreaming of somewhere warm and far and away. Possibly because I'm going somewhere hot hot hot later on in the week for a wedding. And I LOVE weddings! So how perfect to come across this beautiful, rustic, romantic beach home in Sydney, Australia from Home Life. What do you say? Yes please! 










All pictures: Home Life. Photographer: Jared Fowler

I love that everything in the home has been brought back from all corners of the globe. The pieces work together beautifully against the white background. Such a lovely home!

I know someone in particular who is going to love this post...g'day Cas in Sydney! Big hug to you cheeky-bo! xxx

CRAFTERNOON

My friend BECKY, who, by the by, is also one of my very best customers ( love ya Bec) recently invited me to her beautiful home for a 

***CRAFTERNOON***

a fun~filled afternoon with fun new friends, delicious nosh, flowing wine and yes,

crafting...

Now I'm not exactly on the short list at Somerset

so........

Anyway, I said yes of course, cause I've always wanted to see Becky's home and it sounded like a great time.

Let's begin with a short tour.

Her living room is a cozy French~inspired haven that makes you want to linger forever. We darn near did, as we arrived at 3 o'clock and left at 8!




Do you love the pumpkin above that she made from a dryer hose?



Next we head upstairs to the master bedroom.




Gorgeous huh?

Back downstairs to the dining room we go...

Not only did she set a stunning French~themed table, she had a beautiful craft kit for each guest and a gift bag    
full of personalized goodies for us as well.






Crudite' in shot glasses filled with hummus. So charming.



Cake pops that looked so darn good. Alas, they were not vegan so I resisted...

But these babies were and I devoured the lavender brownies and one of those cupcakes with the chocolate frosting!



And here's our lovely hostess herself! 

The one and only Becky!



And so what you ask did we make?


A wreath from old book pages.

I am the worst at following instructions, and I confess I really just looked at the pictures on the instructions. So my wreath has an extra row of pages and my ribbon hanger is off center and overall it's a little wonky.

But it's mine and I had the best time making it. That you'll have to take my word on. As luck would have it, my batteries died before the fun began so there are zero pics of the crafters in action. 

Too bad, cause I met some of the funniest, most enjoyable women you could imagine. And Becky? She's a hip, cool chick that knows how to throw a fabulous get together. 

Rumor has it there will be a CRAFTERNOON PART DEUX

and this time I'll have fresh batteries I promise.

THANKS BECKY, IT WAS FABULOUS!!!
